TO ALL WHOM IT MAI7 GONOERN:

vBo it known that I, JAMES SANDERSON, of Fredericksburg', in the county of Wayne, and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hoisting-Apparatus; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, refereneebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marled thereon.

In the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, A A represent the sides of a frame or ways,

held together by means of suitable cross-bars, for my improved hoisting or elevating-machine.

Iivoted to the ways A A are arms or legs B B, as shown. Said legs B B are held in place so as to support the ways A A by means of hooks d d, which catch in staples in the sides of said legs. When thismachine is notI in use the hooks d cl are detachedand the legs folded up against lthe ways AA, seas to occupy but small space and be easily handled. g n

C and D represent rollers forming a windlass, having their bearings in and working between the ways AA.

The roller or cylinder C is provided with a suitable crank, by which it is operated, and. the roller D is pro-V vided with a pulley or groove around its centre for the cordfto pass and work over.

The ways A A are adjusted at any desired angle, and made of any required length.

Iivoted between-and at the top ol' the ways A Ais anotherrtilting-frame, I, made just as wide between its sides as the ways A A, so that the car E will run up on -it as a uniform track with said ways A A.

The frame I is pivoted by means of a rod, Z, extending across the top and through the ways and frame, as shown in the drawings.

A cord or rope, m, is secured to a cross-bar, h, of the frame I, and passes down through a loop near the crank of the roller, C, so that the operator may tilt the said frame I whenever the same may be required'.

E represents a car, of. suitable size and construction, to carry stone, earth, brick, 'or mortar, and has adjusted on the bottom of it small rollers dr wheels g g,'to run up on the ways A A and the frame I.

Small hooks :e a: are driven into the bottom of the car E, which catch around the rod l, andstop said car when the operator pulls on the cord m, and tiltsthe frame I and car E thereon, so as to throw the load on to a scaffold, wagon, orfthe side of a bank, as may be desired. l

One end ot' the cerdfis secured to the ear Eand passes up over the roller D, and thence down to the winding-cylinder C, to which the other end is secured. i

.The operator, by turning the'vcrank, winds up the cord, and' thereby draws the car E up the Ways A on to the tilting-frame I, where it is dumped, as above described.

On and across the under side of the ways A A is secured a strong cross-bar, r, tilting over too far. i p

This device is designed for elevating building-materials to the scaffold, earth out of a deep cut, or Stone and ravel to a wa n'on or railroad-car.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is- '.lhe arrangement ofthe ways A A, tilting-frame I, car E, with its rollers gg, hooks'zz: rv, windlass C D, and cord m, the whole combined and operated as specified. l In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 3d day o f March, 1868.
